A busy New Jersey Assembly schedule on Thursday includes Legislation (A-3266 and ACR-160) that would allow temporary casino gaming at the Meadowlands complex for the 2014 Super Bowl.

The resolution seeks voter approval to amend the state Constitution to allow it. The bill provides for regulation and enforcement. The bill is sponsored by Democrats Tim Eustace (Bergen/Passaic), Ruben J. Ramos Jr. (Hudson), Jerry Green (Union/Middlesex/Somerset) and Gary Schaer (Passaic/Bergen) and will be discussed at 10 a.m. by the Assembly Regulatory Oversight and Gaming Committee.

“Like a County Fair, a carnival or a music festival that takes place in a parking lot and within a week disappears, a pop-up casino could be created in a similar way. With events coming to Northern New Jersey and thousands of tourists descending on our communities we could entertain them on our side of the New York and Pennsylvania border. Once the influx of tourists is gone, so too, would the pop-up casino.

“Thousands of temporary jobs would be created and with that millions of dollars would be funneled into our state economy that might otherwise go to our border states.”
